Quick question on a lowboy I am planning to build. Attached are a couple photo's of a 7 ft long piece of walnut I resawed in order to make a bookmatched top (3/4in x 20in x 34in):

In looking at this--what do you think--is the grian too wild (not linear enough)for a lowboy top? The blanks I have for the legs are all straight-grained (per the photo). And if I do use these pieces, what part would you use (I need to get 3 feet out of the 7 feet).
Thx for your input. This will be my first project where I am actully paying attention to grain pattern for aestetic purposes
